Autumn Business Scene was ‘festive’
Another record crowd flooded the venue for September’s Business Scene, presented by the Greater New Milford Chamber of Commerce.
Well more than 100 business owners, employees, and community representatives attended the Sept. 26 informal business networking event this month co-sponsored by Bakewell & Mulhare, Nicholas / Tobin Insurance, and NeJaime’s Wine & Spirits at The Hangar at Candlelight Farms in New Milford.
Expansive fabric was draped across the wooden beams – and strings of lights cast a warm glow – inside the hangar. The hard lines of wooden dining tables were softened by the autumn-colored table runners on which festive centerpieces caught the eye of guests.
Attendees conversed among themselves, forging new leads and connections, and sampled beer and wine at the tasting provided by NeJaime’s Wine & Spirits.
The beverages were complemented by the event’s fare: roast pig, cole slaw and beans served by Twins BBQ Co. in Brookfield.
As a special treat, Dean Snellback and the BluesyLand Band entertained guests with live music, and Diane Koester Sibert at Keller Williams donated homemade fall-themed cookies.
Snellback, who also performed at last month’s Business Scene, wrote on social media of the event, “Wow, what a night! Our BluesyLand Office in the hangar at Candlelight farms. A huge turnout on a drizzly night, festive indeed.”
Snellback said he was impressed with the turnout that shows support for the Chamber, and the amount of work that goes into making an event like this happen.
He added, “It’s not your ‘Parents Chamber.’ New post-pandemic creativity and passion for community.”
Door prizes and a 50/50 raffle were also held, as they are every Business Scene.
A1 Portable Toilet of Thomaston donated a portable restroom for the event.
Rain did not deter huge turnout at networking event
The scenic views at the Aug. 8 Business Scene made up for less than favorable weather – rain. Despite early showers and then heavy rain, more than 100 business professionals attended August’s informal business networking event held at the wedding and special events venue, Candlelight Farms, in New Milford. Festivities were held in the farm’s Lower Barn, one of multiple locations on the 600-plus acre property where special events take place. Guests filled the spacious building, and also flowed out onto the Lower Barn’s wrap-around veranda that overlooks sprawling fields, woodland, and nearby mountains. This month’s event was sponsored by All American Waste. The venue, food and beverages were donated by Candlelight Farms, Rich’s Wings & Things, and Housatonic River Brewing, respectively. In addition to networking, attendees had an opportunity to win door prizes and a 50/50 raffle.
Trio of companies team up for networking event
The April Business Scene was co-sponsored by Planet Photo, CRIANA and New Milford Printing.
A great showing of members of the business community attended the event at The Bleacher, where both Planet Photo and CRIANA have offices.
Each business provided an assortment of food and beverages, and showcased the offerings and services they provide.
Garry Boros of New Milford Printing, Janet Taub of Planet Photo and Diana LeRoi-Schmidt of CRIANA each addressed the crowd.
Door prizes were awarded and the winner of the 50/50 raffle was announced.
The next Business Scene is May 11.
